I was the same way in my first year or two. Luckily I never bought any problem coins or severely overpaid for anything. I accumulated a lot of what I thought at the time were great coins but as I learned more and viewed more coins I realized most of what I bought was pretty common stuff. Over the years I’ve sold off all the stuff that never really wowed me and kept all the material that I really enjoyed looking at. I still have a lot of those original coins I bought and have thought about selling until I realize what I’d get in return is not much and I’d rather hold on to them to show my future kids and grandkids.

How can you make this post and not show any of your coins?! We would all love to see some of your favorites. Im going on my 11th year as what I would consider serious collecting. If I were just coming up on my one year I think I’d take out and lay out my whole collection and admire what I’ve accomplished over the year. If I were going to buy something I know I’d want to buy a coin, but I think the better option would be to buy a reference book. I think your best option is to do whatever makes you happy!
